The AGSO-APIRA Australian Petroleum Systems Project examined eight basin modules covering the North West Shelf, the Petrel Sub-basin, and the Papuan basin in PNG. Two relational databases contain biostratigraphic data (STRATDAT) and reservoir, facies, and hydrocarbon shows data (RESFACS). Petroleum systems analyses were conducted on each area, comparing source quality and generation timing.
Use Cases
- Model petroleum generation timing based on biostratigraphic data.
- Compare source rock quality across different basins using the reservoir and facies data.
- Conduct time-series geological analysis using the linked relational databases.
Strengths
- Covers eight basin modules across a significant geographical area including the North West Shelf.
- Contains two distinct, interlinked relational databases for biostratigraphic and reservoir/facies data.
- Includes petroleum systems analyses with comparisons of source quality and timing.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the data_gov_au platform.
